'Help yourself': 36 exotic animals disappear from Florida wildlife sanctuary after fake ad

Owners fear for health of lemurs, marmosets, monkeys, birds and tortoises removed from Miami site in incident police are treating as theft

The advertisement on Craigslist was specific: "Free exotic animals. We're a sanctuary going out of business. Go around back and help yourself."

Early on Sunday morning, somebody did just that, driving a truck up to the rear gate of the We Care Wildlife Sanctuary in Miami and loading up seven ring-tailed lemurs, five marmosets, four monkeys, seven birds and 13 tortoises.
